If I have a small pool (2feet deep, 7 feet long, 4 feet wide) could I use this instead of chemicals to keep it clean?

Yes you may. I have a 7' by 7' pond and this is an amazing apparatus. The only problem is you need a lighter weight hose to attach to your regular hose to make it easier to use. I found the regular hose was too hard to use. My husband suggested the lighter weight hose to attach and it made all the difference in the world. (I still use some chlorine to keep the algae down) I simply purchased the small floating deal on Amazon to keep the chlorine in so I don't have to deal with it daily.

No. The vacuum will remove the dirt but will not take care of algae spores or rain related pH balances. You still need to check your Chlorine/Bromine levels and pH. A pool your size should only need little corrections with the appropriate chemicals.

It's only for removing debris. Chemicals are needed to prevent bacteria and algae from growing.

why yes you can it is very easy to use. i use it on my hot tub so i see no reason why you couldnt use it on your pool .it really makes a difference -cleans the tub very good. it is like a water vacuum with a strainer bag to catch all the debris.

Hello,Yes, you can use this unit for your size pool no problem. You can also adjust the chlorine flow rate with the basket as well. Thank you

As long a the sides and bottom of the pool are smooth, it would be a good choice. I have had my pool since 1994 and have had several pool cleaners. This one is by far the best one I've owed.

The short answer is yes. I bought my Tiger Shark 3 weeks ago and I am beyond impressed with it. My pool is 46x20 and has a 9 foot deep end. I've used the cleaner 3 times in full clean cycle and it's amazing how well it works. It will climb the walls and walk the entire edge at water level. It memorizes your pool layout and cleans ever inch of it. It's very easy to clean the filters. I fully recommend this product.

Yes just put 2 big tarps under the pool.Also we bought 2 cinder blocks at Home depot.Put one outside and one inside on a bathroom math to protect the pool and you won't need a ladder...Use chlorine shock just a little bit once a week and also balance that you can get from Walmart...The chlorine tablets takes too long time to dissolve...Use a stick for balancing the water and you will see what chemicals you need.I only run the pump 1 time a month for 3 hours or if the water is not clear...You don't need to run it more because it costs power to run...

It runs off of suction, where as most in ground pools use "return" pressure as the source for the cleaner...so my answer would be "no".

Maybe, but that seems more of a pain than it's worth. The net is really easy to clean. Just turn it inside out a rinse it with a hose to get the small stuff out. Why would you want to dump it onto the lawn near the pool? It may just end up right back in the pool from people going in and out of it.

I have a pool with a spa with small waterfall, however I brought this product to get rid of small amounts of algie I never saw form. Just dont put right where water is running. I hope i helped also just start with small amounts. I used a forming one in another home and i hated it. I think this one is non foaming

Technically yes but I have to ask - are you chlorinating the inflatable pool? This prevents the sun from burning off the chlorine in the water so it doesn't make sense to use it unless you are chlorinating. Also, be aware that this is an acid and will lower ph which can cause skin irritation if you let it get too low. If you use trichlor pucks to chlorinate - stabilizer is already in them.

My pool is 15 X 30 and 6 foot deep. We had a smaller one before but it was suggested we upgrade so it isn't working so hard. Plus it cleans the pool more times. Very pleased with it.

Our pool wasn't that big. You might ck manufacturing suggested size pump. I can tell u that Hayward pumps r quiet & powerful. Ours works very well with our 15X22 pool. I recommend a salt water chlorinated system as well.

No... your pool is too too small. I use my float for my 20' X 40' pool. (32,000 gallons) Use a small amount of chlorine from a package of dry chlorine for pools you can get at KMart or Walmart [ only a small amount!

My spa person said....the spa vac will not work in a shallow pool, the pool must be at least as deep as the pool is long

I have a vinyl liner pool 10m x 5m, with steps on one of the long sides. It works well cleaning the buttom, and mine actually climbes the sides and clean the waterline as advertised. It even climbes the steps once in a while, but because of the size of the step, the work done here is minimal. I usually wipe the dirt on the steps to the buttom of the pool, to ensure that it takes most of the debris. I am very satisfied with it for now :-)

I have a 16' X 4' round Intect soft side vinyl liner pool and use it for that. It works reasonably well; however, I found that since I have about an inch of sand under the pool's bottom as a cushion, footprints left from bathers make vacumming the bottom a bit tricky. The lumps left don't permit the head to glide smoothly across the bottom and multiple passes are needed at times to pick up the debris, etc. It would work well on a smooth bottom above ground pool.

Yes. The pool store will be able to tell you the chemicals needed to set up and maintain your pool. Try to get your water sample from at least 18 inches below the water surface. This will help get a more accurate reading.

Maybe. My pool is 6ft at the deep end, inground. Pool length is 29ft. I think size, not depth, is a bigger factor.
